A 146,000-Year-Old Skull Found In China Might Represent A New Human Species
Discovered by a laborer in 1933 but hidden until 2018, a 146,000-year-old skull from northeastern China, nicknamed "Dragon Man," may represent an entirely new human species. Scientists propose naming this lineage Homo longi, noting its massive size, large cranial capacity comparable to modern humans, and a unique combination of primitive and derived features like almost square eye sockets and a wide, low face. This well-preserved fossil, found near the Dragon River, could even be more closely related to Homo sapiens than Neanderthals, potentially reshaping our understanding of human evolution.

#1 while Rome did (accidentally) burn part of the library, so did invading Muslim forces. It burned several times, some long after the budget cuts listed, showing that the thing was around despite money problems.

when the Muslim invaders arrived, the library was long gone.

Jacqueline, Excrement can hold a lot of scientific, medical, and sociological information. When I was young, it was still common for a doctor to ask how a patient's digestion was, because it could reveal so much about so many medical questions. That doesn't happen anymore, and I can tell you from a life time of experience that many, many people end up with terminal illnesses because they have not had a healthy bowel movement in years, so their bodies have become toxic. Similarly, excrement can tell scientists how ancient peoples lived, what they ate, what their social standing was, how their health was, etc.

#21 that's wrong. They've been three different tests and they range between 1200 ad and 1300 ad. The Catholic church doesn't even claim it's a relic anymore.
